Opportunities to Serve

Altar Guild

The Altar Guild’s purpose is to serve the priest and congregation by preparing the altar and sanctuary.  This is a very behind-the-scene ministry responsible for the set up and take down of all services at the church.  They are in charge of cleaning and polishing chalices and cruets, filling candles, setting up the altar, and cleaning linens. 

Acolyte/Crucifer

The Acolytes assist the priest at the altar during the Eucharist and at other times as requested. Acolytes may begin serving at 12 years old throughout adulthood, both male and female.

Greeters

This group of ministers is comprised of teams of two who are gifted in the ministry of hospitality and greeting.  Greeters meet people as they arrive, paying special attention to make guests feel welcome, assist anyone not familiar with the Episcopal service, hand out bulletins, encourage visitors to sign the guest book, direct seating, administer the collection plates and direct the congregation to the altar for communion. 

​Lay Eucharist Ministers

The Lay Eucharist Ministers administer the chalice at Communion. They are trained by the priest and licensed by the Bishop.

Lectors

​Lectors are a group of people trained to read aloud the lessons during worship services.
